May aid post-MI risk stratification; extends observational data but leaves open whether targeting microvascular obstruction improves outcomes.
Does MRI-determined microvascular obstruction predict long-term prognosis and cardiovascular complications in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
MRI-determined microvascular obstruction is a strong independent predictor of long-term cardiovascular complications in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Wu et al. (1998) studied this question.
